I don't take anything as flirting unless it's really obvious. So hugging, to me, is not flirting. I'm a hugging guy, that's how I was raised. That doesn't mean I'm flirting with you. So, any flirting I do will be REALLY obvious, so there is no miscommunication, or wondering. Like, if I'm at the girl's house I might say "It's cold. Let's go to your bedroom and warm up." You see? Bedroom was mentioned. That's flirting.
A look across the room is not flirting. If you want to talk to me, come talk to me. I don't bite. Usually. lol.
I have a long time interest in psychology, specializing in relationship dynamics for 30 years.
